Why would we do this?

  • AEM is the defacto platform for sales/landing pages, can we leverage it for content?
  • Publishing content using the PM process is error prone, can this be improved?
  • The IWB application used by teachers does not provide feedback to the PO, what are they actually using?
  • Authoring books is tedious, can the publishing pipeline be improved?

So down the rabbit hole of AEM we go...
